Now, the Horned Frogs are in the Big 12, and the in-state rivalry has been rekindled. Texas owns the all-time record with a 61-21-1 mark, but the rise of TCU lately could bring a major shift in the numbers.

This game will take the place of the Texas A&M and Texas rivalry that ended when the Aggies jumped to the SEC.
